In a recent conversation with UFC’s welterweight contender, Bobby Green in JRE MMA show #121, Rogan marveled at the performance, and how the fight stole the show.
He also felt thankful that UFC President Dana White gave both fighters the win bonus. Despite Burns coming up short, the Brazilian walked away with a bonus.
Rogan highlighted that Durinho actually landed powerful shots, strong enough to move Chimaev’s face around.
He said, “I mean that was an amazing performance. He spun Khamzat’s face around with that right hand like holy f*k, Khamzat has a f**g chin man, cause Glibert cracked him. Oh my goodness, what a fight, what a fight!”

The UFC icon also talked about Burn’s latest Instagram post, where he claimed to have landed more strikes against the Russian-born fighter. However, Rogan seemed to disagree with the notion, as he believes volume doesn’t necessarily translate to victory. He believes landing significant strikes that can earn you a knockdown carries far more value than getting more volume.

“Gilbert landed more strikes. Gilbert posted on his Instagram the numbers, the breakdown of the numbers. Which obviously doesn’t mean everything, because like a person could land, a person could land crazy shots, someone plants you with one. That one counts way more.”
